POLISH RIOTERS
Fighting With the Police to Keep
q Church Closed.

DETROIT, March 2O.-More than a
year ago the members of st. Albertus
Polish Catholic Church were rioting be.
cause their priest, Father .Kolahsky, had
been deposed by Bishop Borgess.. After
a futile attempt to keep the church open
with another priest in charge, the build
ing was closed and has 90 remained
since. At intervals there have been
rumors of its reopening, each report Gre.
ating great excitement among the con-
gregation, which numbered 1000. Within
a few days the report became cur.
rent that the church would be
reopened by Father Dombroski,
on March 9th. This report aroused
the Kohasky faction and troubles were
anticipated. Today squad of policemen
were guarding the church when they
were assailed by crowd of the Kohasky
supporters. Officer Frank Scharaffon
was struck in the face with brick.
His assailant was arrested, and storm
broke forth. Ten or more pistol shuts
were fred at the police, who were also
assailed with showers of bricks. clubs
and other missiles. In reply the police
fired over the heads of the mob and kept
them at bay while their prisoner was car
ried away and additional police protection
secured. Nearly 5000 Poles ragged and
stormed about the officers, but no fur
ther violence was attempted. Half q
dozen policemen were badly battered
and bruised, but none were fatally in.
;ured. A few Poles were also hurt, but
their companions imm mediately carried
them away; so that the extent of their
injuries cannot be learned. Tonight
the police are guarding the disturbed
district, but no further trouble is antic'
ipated. The convent windows, also,
were badly shattered by bricks tonight

ARROYO GKANDE.
A Good Report of a Very Good
Section.

A Good Report of a Very Good
Section.
About fifteen miles from San Luis
Obispo there is a thriving village, situ.
ated upon the banks OF "a beautiful
stream. Both the village and the stream
are called Arroyo Grande, and it is
said by people who are well posted on
the Southern country, that no more fer.
tile soil or delightful location ear be
found than in that region. Mr.. D. F.
Newsom writes to the San Luis Obs DO
Mirror short communication, in which
he enumerates few OF the ca pabilities
of the section as follows:
"The agricultural, vegetable and fruit
capabilities of this valley have been SO
well written up" and the exhibit at
the Agricultural Fair was 90 creditable,
that there is little more to be said on
these subjects, yet only few appear to
realize the fact that the waters of the
Arroyo Grande, if properly utilized,
could be made to turn machinery enough
to keep one thousand hands employed.
At the mouth of Lopez Canon one
hundred or more feet of fall, with a
hundred inches of water, can be had. At
the Branch Mills, thirty five feet fall,
with from three to five hundred inches
of water, can be availed of. At the
mouth of the Newsom Arroyo Grande
Warm Springs Canon, eighty feet fall,
with three hundred inches of water, are
awaiting utilization. All this power
can be had and used without interfering
with irrigation; for, on the contrary, It
will add to the wster supply; because.
instead of open bitches. covered fumes
or pipe will be used, which, think, will
give to irrigators double the amount of
water they now have. If this power was
utilized it would be great inducement
to the railroad builders to run their road
up the valley to Biddels, thence to
Horseshoe-bend, or along the foothills
toward the County Hospital. We want
paper mill, a furniture factory, candle
factory, a sugar factory; also cable
road from the railroad depot to the
Springs. The power is here for all these,
in addition to the Touring mill which We
now have. We have an abundance of
tan bark of good quality for large
taunery.
The educational facilities of Arroyo
Grande are second to none in the county.
The Sienega School District, with one
teacher; the Arroyo Grande, with three
teachers, and large and well-furnished
school building; the Newsom District,
with neat and comfortable school
house and one teacher; the Branch
District has in contemplation new
school.house, and a graded school,
with two teachers; the Santa Manuela
District, with one teacher; the Huasna
District. with one teacher; and the

The Contest.

As matter of law. it is generally ad-
mitted that Joseph Lynch has power
full case in his contest of the election al
General Vandever. If Mr.. Lynoh's
statement be true, and we are poaitive
that he would not act otherwise thar
honorably. he will be justly entitled 70
seat in Congress from this district. Il
has been oonclusively shown that the
Republican Clerk Of Los Angeles county

ing number of diamonds. A clew
being obtained, the local habitation
of the pigeon proprietors was dis
covered and their mode of busi.
ness put an end TO. The scheme,
stated simply, was to fly every week or
ten days flock of dozen or fifteen
pigeons, each carrying about half dozen
gems. As the duty on diamonds amounts
to 10 per cent, the trouble taken to
smuggle these gems into the United
States does not seem so very remark able.
The value of the stones honestly imported
into the States is between SS, 600, 600 and
80, 900, 600 per annum, and it has been
calculated that gems to half that sum
escape payment of the duty.-[Cham-
